Passion Lyrics - Blazing Arrow - Blackalicious

An open microphone can be dangerous 

Let's tune in on two of the greatest MC's out there 

Passion, the will to win, the spark within 

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men 

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best, to rise 

You've just arrived the quest is driven through 

Passion, to play through pain and love the game 

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame 

Passion, the fight for rights to love your life, to rise 

You've just arrived the quest is driven through passion 

Propaganda, positive propositions 

Politician, musician and a triple optician 

Still part of my missions to slaughter the opposition 

Critics that don't get it, I tell 'em to stop bitchin' 

I do without blacks, I've done it without cash 

Strictly for the love of the art, that's passion 

Flashin', rappin' or jammin' or sound blastin' 

When Quannum meets Expansion, this is what happens 

Runnin' through the jungle with a flare gun 

Arrow-arms, zonin' out my mind 

Like I was hooked on heroine 

Take the fire, turn it up and blaze whole forest down 

Pullin from within' the inner insane warrior 

California to the District of Columbia 

Hella high octane, lookin' through a lazy eye 

All ablaze, fire, flames, lightin' up the sky 

Runnin' through the burnin' sun, yellin' 

Ride nigga, ride nigga, ride 

Passion, the will to win, the spark within 

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men 

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best, to rise 

You've just arrived, the quest is driven through 

Passion, to play through pain and love the game 

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame 

Passion, the fight for rights to love your life, to rise 

You've just arrived, the quest is driven through passion 

Desire, the fire that inspires 

I don't state facts, I state buildings, like empires 

Passion, the journey, the learnin', the time-turnin' 

The searchin', the mind yearnin' to wake and find mornin' 

Passion, the ladies, they love the long-lastin' 

Askin' for action, braced for satisfaction 

Passion, the black-skinned African 

Jazz-men of the half in Aspen 

Relaxed, gettin' my back rubbed 

I'm still here, I've seen cats get killed here 

I've seen cats make a mil but millionaires still fear 

You can buy airplanes but you can't buy cheers 

Blackalicious, dilated, vibratin' your ears 

Sent vibrations for years, I've been waitin' for years 

I've been patient for years, we ain't playin' this year 

We hold stake in this here, it ain't safe for this year 

We in the zone watch next level, takin' it there, this is 

Passion, the will to win, the spark within 

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men 

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best, to rise 

You've just arrived, the quest is driven through 

Passion, to play through pain and love the game 

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame 

Passion, the fight for rights to love your life, to rise 

You've just arrived, the quest is driven through passion 

Let's listen to this recipe for Chief Xcel 

The most astonishing Soul 

New seeds of wisdom, craft, and skill 

Check it out, y'all 

Listen now, to this classic moment from 

DJ's, around the world, DJ's around the world 

Had a rough week, it got beat by passion 

Saddled up, tweaked off a beat, started mashin' 

Matador Rica, the heat from the heater 

In her world, dwellin', hear the world, yellin' for a leader 

I don't bother with the dealers, I take it to the lab 

It's Rakaa chillin' with Babs, Xcel, gift of gab 

I grab mics and fans gravitate, I can't waste it 

My whole life, I wanted it so bad, I could taste it 

Passion, the will to win, the spark within 

Passion, the strength within the hearts of men 

Passion, the drive to press, to strive for best, to rise 

You've just arrived the quest is driven through 

Passion, to play through pain and love the game 

Passion, to break the chain and blaze the flame 

Passion, the fight for rights to love your life, to rise 

You've just arrived, the quest is driven through passion
